Prepare the olive grove for a good harvest according to Bayer

Keep clean the grove of weeds is an essential task to ensure a healthy tree and land in optimal growing conditions. At this time, it is essential to prepare the olive farms for next season. One of the main concerns of the Spanish farmer now is to control weeds that threaten their productions. Bayer is next to the farmer to provide the solutions you need at all times.

Weeds of the genus Conyza (Conyza canadensis, the Conyza bonariensis and Conyza sumatrensis) are of the greatest threats in the Spanish productions. These herbs can measure up to two meters high and produce a lot of seeds. To control this weed and other difficult to control, Bayer makes available to the farmer’s olive Musketeer® solution for a powerful herbicide action and a broad spectrum of action has also proven to be a very effective action in preventing future occurrences.

Musketeer® acts on the aerial part and the root of the plant, which achieves effective control over even when these herbs have proven resistant to other products.

Combating fungal pests

Another of the most pressing problems of the olive grove at this time of year is that of fungal diseases. The soapy olive leaf spot and two fungi which attack both leaf and the olive tree, are the two most common conditions. To treat these diseases effectively, the farmer must have a comprehensive strategy.
In this mission, Bayer offers a formula that effectively combines two modes of action simultaneously: Flint® + Cuprosan®. The multipurpose action Flint® with Cuprosan® can act against both diseases, both preventive and curative effect of long duration.
